Evaporation from the soil surface (E) can be a significant source of water loss in arid areas. In sparsely vegetated systems, E is expected to be a function of soil, climate, irrigation regime, precipitation patterns, and plant canopy development and will therefore change dynamically at both daily and seasonal time scales. The objectives of this research were to quantify E in an isolated, drip-...

7 An n-dimensional joint uniform distribution is defined as a distribution whose one-dimensional marginals are uniform on some interval I. This interval is taken to be [0,1] or, when more convenient [− 1 2 , 1 2 ]. The specification of joint uniform distributions 9 in a way which captures intuitive dependence structures and also enables sampling routines is considered. The question whether ever...

8 The increasing availability of Very High Spatial Resolution images enables accurate 9 digital maps production as an aid for management in the agricultural domain. In 10 this study we develop a comprehensive and automatic tool for vineyard detection, 11 delineation and characterization using aerial images and without any parcel plan 12 availability. In France, vineyard training methods in rows...

This study involved the determination of the peroxide value (POV) as a measure of the resistance of the oxidation of edible oil with grape vine cane additives to assess their antioxidation potential. The study demonstrated that grape extracts of canes could effectively inhibit the lipid oxidation of edible oils and that this ability varied significantly due to the different extraction solvents ...

One of the most commonly encountered plant-parasitic nematodes in eastern Washington Vitis vinifera vineyards is Meloidogyne hapla; however, limited research exists on the impact of this nematode on V. vinifera. The objectives of this research were to determine the impact of M. hapla on Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon vine establishment and to determine the host status of V. vinifera varietie...

A statistical analysis of functional data, obtained as reflectance values measured using a hyperspectral sensor, was used to determine water content in vine leaves. Our study was conducted using a sample of 80 vine leaves whose water content was determined by calculating the weight difference between leaves before and after drying in an oven. Two regression models, one linear and the other non-...

This paper aims at analyzing the financial risk and co-movement of stock markets in three countries: Indonesia, Philippine and Thailand. It consists of analyzing the conditional volatility and test the leverage effect in the stock markets of the three countries. To capture the pairwise and conditional dependence between the variables, we use the method of vine copulas. In addition, we illustrat...
